Windows 10 (A6100 A6200 A6210) Installation Heads Up
As a heads up, DO NOT install Netgear's driver package for your A6xxx device on Windows 10. It permanently removes Windows 10’s ability to access the WiFi Connections list. Instead, use the defa...
For problems with the windows 10 included driver with the a6210 (e.g. no 5ghz networks visible) just use the latest driver from mediatek (5.1.21.0).
It is the newer version of the driver that came with windows 10 and with it i can join my 5ghz wlan, which wasnt able with the old one!
The chip in the A6210 is a Mediatek MT7612U.
I've been reading through here trying to find out what "U2" means and how to set it in the ASMedia 3.0 host controller. Well, I've read through 27 pages, and I did purchase this last night.
As of the latest build of Windows 10, that I installed yesterday, the device connects just fine. Including on 5G networks. According to the utility it's running at 300mbps, but I think that's because I don't have an AC router (yet), it's just operating on a single band 5G-N network.
Anyways, the device worked out of the box, installing the standalone driver from the CD, and then it was updated by Windows Update after a reboot and forced update.
Which "build" are you speaking of?
Windows 10 - 10586 (which I think is the most recent patch sets, whatever Microsoft calls them this day and age)
In other words mainstream windows updates.
Hope that helps.
